The RunOut #172: Liv Ogier and the joy of suffering for sport climbing
About this episode
Liv Ogier discusses her first ascent of Yellow Sun (5.14d) and the challenges faced in sport climbing.
Liv Ogier recently completed the first ascent of Yellow Sun (5.14d), an extension to Tommy Caldwell’s Kryptonite at the Fortress of Solitude. As a former comp climber, her choice to project at one of Colorado’s most remote and challenging sport crags resulted in numerous days and nights of challenging conditions that are more often associated with alpinism than sport climbing. But the result of her efforts landed her among a very small and select group of women who have established first ascents of routes rated 5.14d.  But first, your grumpy hosts grump about climbing. Our final bit is from Victor McConnell.
